Flight compensation Vueling Airlines:
Barcelona — Tenerife

How to be compensated by Vueling Airlines on the Barcelona (BCN) - Tenerife (TFN) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Barcelona and Tenerife with Vueling Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 195 km of flight, the company Vueling Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Vueling Airlines Barcelona - Tenerife is eligible?

The compensation for flight BCN-TFN is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Barcelona International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Vueling Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Tenerife.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Barcelona airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Vueling Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Vueling Airlines compensation

A work stoppage of Vueling Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

A strike by weather services at Barcelona International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Vueling Airlines has no control.

What are your rights at Barcelona airport in case of prolonged wait?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Barcelona International Airport airport, Vueling Airlines is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Barcelona International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
